Tu Thuy decided
Thanh Thuy received a warm welcome from volleyball fans at Lao Cai Provincial Gymnasium. However, she was quite secretive in front of the media and did not give any information or exchange information. Through research, Thanh Thuy will be the one to decide on her own training and professional preparation. In the contract, this player is still managed by VTV Binh Dien Long An team, so she can still practice with her teammates as usual.
The last time Thanh Thuy played for VTV Binh Dien Long An was in May 2024. At that time, this player had just finished her contract with PFU Blue Cats (Japan) and returned to Vietnam to compete in the VTV9-Binh Dien 2024 International Women's Volleyball Cup. In 2023 and 2024, Thanh Thuy did not play for VTV Binh Dien Long An in the national volleyball championship because she played in Japan and Türkiye.
However, everyone saw that she was very excited to meet her teammates and congratulate them on the championship on the evening of November 17. The coaching staff of VTV Binh Dien Long An women's team also did not share anything about this player because everyone was still focused on competing for the 2024 National Volleyball Championship. Now that the tournament is over, the parties will definitely work together more specifically, and Thanh Thuy is the one who has to make a decision for herself.
Go abroad or stay in the country?
At the moment, VTV Binh Dien Long An is the most open women's volleyball team in the country. That openness lies in the fact that they have accepted to let their number one hitter compete abroad even though for 6 years (before this season), the team has not won the national championship. This year, VTV Binh Dien Long An won the final and took the championship cup but Thanh Thuy was not in the squad.
Thanh Thuy is an attractive face for VTV Binh Dien Long An women's volleyball. Also, this player still maintains good form. However, it must be noted that Thuy is 27 years old. Over the years, as her age increases, the number 1 hitter of Vietnamese women's volleyball cannot stay in good shape forever, so she will need a safe option for herself to compete.
In Türkiye, she could not find an official place in the Kuzeyboru squad.
Previously, Thanh Thuy had played several times in Thailand and Taiwan (China). In terms of feeling, when players are used to playing in a professional volleyball environment in a foreign country, they all want to continue that journey for themselves. In case they cannot find a new team abroad to play for, Thanh Thuy's only choice is to play with VTV Binh Dien Long An.
However, the reality is that the year 2024 has ended. If she does not perform well in 2025, Tran Thi Thanh Thuy's place in the Vietnam Women's Volleyball Team is not guaranteed. We have seen that in this year's international tournaments of the Vietnam Women's Volleyball Team, Tran Thi Thanh Thuy almost did not play due to injury and the team's coaching staff had to find a suitable replacement player. As a result, we still won the AVC Challenge Cup 2024 championship and finished third in the FIVB Challenge Cup 2024.
The story of Tran Thi Thanh Thuy's time playing for Kuzeyboru team has ended. Now this main striker is in Vietnam.
In fact, right in Lao Cai, Thanh Thuy's spirit is very comfortable and the harmony with her and her teammates is the same, no difference. It is known that Tran Thi Thanh Thuy has a representative. The representative actively seeks new opportunities for his player and if Thanh Thuy once again has a suitable team abroad to sign a contract, it will be a happy thing for her personally as well as for Vietnamese women's volleyball.
